A/N: This story has a long history. Quite a while back, we were having a discussion on LJ of hobbits and hunting, or at least, I think that’s how this all got started. It’s been so long now, some of the details gave grown a bit stale. Anyway, somewhere along the line of whatever discussion we were having, I thought it would be a fun idea to have an “Iron Chef” type story with the hobbits in a cooking competition. Grey Wonderer agreed to write it for me, but due to problems with canon, and another LJ discussion regarding pet peeves and hobbits not being able to cook (I think there must certainly be a few who can’t find their way around a kitchen, though naturally they would never admit it), she eventually determined she wouldn’t be able to pull it off. So she handed the torch back to me, and I’ve been sitting on it – the story, not the torch, as that would burn quite unpleasantly – ever since. This is a far cry from “Iron Chef” but it is still a hobbit cooking contest, made of one part Young!Merry and one part Wee!Pippin, with a dash of Frodo and a sprinkling of Bagginses, Gamgees and Cottons. Pull up a chair, dig in and enjoy!
